2012 Map of Harvard Hill

About this map

Harvard and the sprawling residential layout of Mojave Valley occupy this high desert landscape in San Bernardino County. The area is defined by a grid of long desert roads such as Yermo Rd and Mannix Rd, which parallel the path of the Mojave River as it passes south of Harvard Hill. This 2012 survey illustrates a transition in the valley's development, where modern aviation infrastructure at the Harvard Airport sits near small artificial water bodies like Lake Tami, Dolores Lake, and Lake Jodie. The map provides a look at the desert's mid-century into 21st-century settlement patterns, including the smaller rail-adjacent site of Toomey and the planned but sparsely populated street network of Twin Lakes.
